Presentation 1. This report covers the exercises of the Adviser in Horticulture and Vega,table Production from 14 March 1981 to 13 March 1982, inside the structure of Credit Agreement No. 678, marked on 18 February 1977 between the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the International Development Association as gave by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) under sub-agreement to Unesco. 2. His capacities were characterized as follows:Under the bearing of theVice-chancellor of the University and the Director of the Third Education Project in Pakistan, the Adviser, other than performing such different obligations inside his fitness as may be relegated him, would help the University's Faculty of Agriculture to: a) b) Develop educational programs and showing strategies for courses in cultivation ; c) Prep are seminars on physiological highlights influencing the development of green harvests, including day-length, water-stress, soil and air temperatures, manure use and take-up, and so on ; d) Encourage the turn of events and utilization of creative techniques for showing agriculture; e)Identify plant species which could be utilized locally for seed creation; f) I. Start and improve research strategies in vegetable creation; Prepare, inside the Adviser's field of fitness, specialized archives (manuals, rules, handouts, and so forth ) to be put at the removal of the Faculty of Agriculture. Farming EDUCATION: UNIVERSITY PROVISION AND NEEDS Faculties 3. The Sind Agricultural University, which created from the Agricultural College previously settled at Sakrand in 1939, had in 1982, an enrolment of 1,700 understudies and exactly 200 school personnel (excluding Research Institute s taff).It has a Division of Basic Sciences, three Faculties †Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary S cience, and Agricultural Engineering †and a Directorate of Advanced Studies. 4. The biggest personnel is that of Agriculture, with 1,252 students and 174 postgraduate understudies and 88 school personnel in 1982. It has eleven divisions: agronomy, herbal science and plant rearing, agrarian augmentation and short courses, farming science, rural financial aspects, entomology, agriculture, plant security, plant pathology, insights and English. - 2-Central Facilities (1) Central Library; 5. The Adviser thought about that the Central Library, which serves the entire University, had lacking supplies of ongoing reference books and periodicals, that its utilization could be expanded if its long periods of activity were reached out from 7. 30 a. m. to 7. 30 p. m. , and that ordering and rack stockpiling of books and different materials ought to be improved. (2) Laboratories : 6. A Central Laboratory, the Adviser suggested, ought to be set up for cutting edge examines, reasonably furnish ed and set up with prepared technicians.There was a requirement for a focal assistance to keep up and fix lab gear and mechanical assembly. He saw various things as unavailable which could without much of a stretch have been fixed. Lab partners were required for legitimate lab upkeep and activity, and each division ought to approach labs reasonable for useful work by understudies, for shows and for examination and experimentation by showing staff and postgraduate understudies. (3) Water and Electricity: 7. The water pressure was lacking in many research centers, to the disadvantage of handy work and test projects.Intermittent electrical breakdowns meddled with the lead of lab tests which required upkeep of a specific temperature, mugginess and lighting. Wiring in certain labs was deficient. Voltage variances ought to be balanced out by voltage controllers where delicate contraption was utilized. A crisis power, gracefully ought to be accessible. (4) college Farm: 8. The significance of functional preparing ought to be reflected by the advancement of a college ranch sufficiently enormous to serve every one of the three faculties.A board, headed by the Vice-chancellor, ought to be liable for the arranging and control of the homestead, with a ranch director accountable for its exercises. The ranch would be utilized fundamentally for preparing understudies and for exploratory examinations, while creation of field yields, foods grown from the ground, along with apiculture and fish-cultivating, could bolster research exercises. Personnel of Agriculture Staffing: 9. With 88 school personnel for 1,426 understudies, the understudy educator proportion in the Faculty of Agriculture is 1:16.This makes it hard for instructors to instruct, administer functional preparing and examination errands and manage understudies. The Adviser thought about that the teacher:student proportion ought to be 1:10. - 3-Department of Horticulture (1) Staffing 10. The Horticultural Department of the Faculty of Agriculture gives undergrad and graduate courses in three principle fields: pomology, olericulture and fancy cultivation. The school personnel of eight (an educator, one partner teacher, four aide educators and two speakers) ought to be multiplied by the expansion of two partners, two right hand educators and four lecturers.A research facility specialist and three colleagues, a field aide for the vegetable nursery and a tractor driver (should the Department get a nursery tractor) ought to likewise b e gave. For the occasion, the University ought to give at any rate a research center specialist and a field colleague. (2) Buildings (a) Laboratories : 11. The Department has two research facilities, one about 30* x 15†² and the other 60†² x 3 0†², the last having two store rooms. Taking into account that this space was insufficient for undergrad handy work, the Adviser-suggested the arrangement of two additional labs of 4 0†² x 25 ‘ . b) 12. P lant Structures: The Adviser suggested arrangement of: (I) a slat place of 4 0 x 8 0 ‘ for proliferation and to give legitimate shade to seedlings and elaborate shade plants; (ii) a nursery for tropical foliage plants? (iii) a development chamber for research on natural effect on the development and yield of plant plants. On the off chance that an imported development chamber can't b e got, an option would b e a nursery with dampness, light and temperature controls. (c) Post-gather Structures: 1 3. A structure is required for getting ready foods grown from the ground for promoting and torage, de-greening and natural product relieving loads, cold stockpiling, and safeguarding of leafy foods. (3) Equipment 1 4. The research facility hardware is sufficient, however a few things needed fix. Field apparatus, for both nursery and homestead, is given by the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering. Notwithstanding, the Adviser considered it would be worthwhile for the Department to have a 60 hp garden tractor, with trolly and - 4-different frill, furrow, cultivator, rotivator, leveler, pit-digger, driller, power sprayer, etc.This would spare time currently being lost in obtaining tractors in crises, for example, one which may emerge regarding illness and bug control. It would ease issues happening from the lack of work. I II. Exercises OF HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT AND ADVISER 1 5. Other than prompting on staffing and offices, the Adviser co-worked with Department of Horticulture staff in various exercises, including the amendment of educational programs, developing of vegetable harvests, handy work, preparing understudies and staff, and exploration. Undergrad Curricula 16..Undergraduate investigations in agriculture spread a time of five years, the courses being: Years 1 and 2 : Basic science (Intermediate l evel); Year 3 : General cultivation; Year 4 : Fruit and vegetable developing and elaborate agriculture ; Year 5 : Fruit and vegetable creation, scene planting an d general food innovation. 1 7. The educational plans in the accompanying zones were reconsidered. (an) Intermediate level fundamental science; (b) Various significant field agricultural courses; (c) Agro-biology of Sind and Baluchistan; (d) Major green harvests in Sind and Baluchistan; e) Problems of foods grown from the ground creation in these two territories. 18. A break improvement plan was set up for undergrad and postgraduate examinations. It was concurred that the three existing courses in plant-reproducing and hereditary qualities gave a sufficient logical foundation in this field and that need should now go to foods grown from the ground creation. To this end, two new courses ought to be included with the goal that the general course would include: vegetable developing, vegetable creation (two courses) and seed creation. †5-19.In vegetable developing, notwithstanding the current territories of definition, order, soil and climatic necessities, the Faculty should includ e revolution, green manuring and kitchen garden development. The two courses in vegetable creation would give time for significant harvests to be

Pre Industrial England 1450-1750

Pre Industrial England 1450-1750 Pre-modern England was a period that established the framework for the mechanical insurgency. Its excessively tremendous with various changes that may appear to repudiate itself whenever limited to a solitary definition. In the early beginnings of the period, the proportion of populace to land was low, with little provincial networks intensely occupied with farming. Markets were flawed, alongside basic/drowsy innovation for the most part on the grounds that, the pre-modern man was not used to advancement or essentially didn't see the requirement for cost lessening developments. The technique for creation was for the most part work serious with minimal capital hardware if any whatsoever. The portrayal so far is fitting for the period 1450-1650. During this period populace development changed broadly, for the most part in view of starvations and illnesses. It is qualified to take note of that the family was the establishment of the home economy and in accumulation the pith of the pre-industrialized economy. The family structure was the wellspring of information, riches and much of the time authenticity (especially on account of ladies). During this age, England was a pyramid of status. Responsibility for was the appearance of status and the snappiest method to political influence. This set moving the impetus for advancement: the craving to obtain more land through the plouging back of benefits into the acquisition of land. It was during this time the idea of RENT was created. In spite of the fact that the modern upset began in Britain, during the period 1450-1650 England was behind its mainland partners in pretty much every monetary regard. Despite the fact that populace development varied, it had an upward pattern; tragically the crude economy couldn't retain this excess work. Thusly, pre-modern Britain was tormented with joblessness and underemployment. As though the last was not awful enough, high death rates constrained a youthful populace to work and a staggering atmosphere of hobos and drifters rose. One fascinating way the economy looked to ingest the overabundance work was through the settlements of this excess to urban areas for example London. Europe had for quite some time been contending among itself for new markets and crude materials. This prompted the start of colonialization and the disclosure of new grounds. England had for quite some time been and endured to be an exporter of for the most part crude materials. Before vessels and new exchanging courses were concocted and found, exchanging was hazardous and capital aggregation was down right incomprehensible. The vehicle of trade was ineffectively characterized and bargain end up being mind boggling in view of the twofold happenstance of needs. In the mid fifteenth century, there was an apparent move in the fare of crude materials to produced merchandise, generally the fare of fabric. (allude to Fig 1 p 50) Very rapidly fabric trade represented 2/3 all things considered, the greater part of which were bound for provincial domains and Low Countries. Considering this positive change, England was still to a great extent an essential item maker, accordingly; they had a high import reliance on mainland Europe. Through movement, England had the option to import new aptitudes and procedures and now and again capital. While England started to saddle the intensity of this admission, there was a revelation of gold in South America. This made capital aggregation somewhat less troublesome and further energized exchange. Despite the fact that mechanical employments were occasional in light of the fact that profitable exercises were prevalently dependant on the regularity of yields, brief looks at urbanization could be seen. Craftsmans and specialists were the primary makers who regularly worked with only a disciple; their capital arrangement was little, by and by, developing. The area of businesses were subject to the work gracefully and occupations of all nature began to develop and change constantly as taste, trends and design change. In the book, the economy of England 1450-1750 by D.C. Coleman: England was portrayed as having propensity for à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢ ¦borrowing and improving, as opposed to inventing㠢â‚ ¬Ã¢ ¦ Though homegrown innovations happened, this propensity was implanted in the English national attribute. Considering this duplicate feline methodology of the English, from the seventeenth to eighteenth century, English licenses had expanded radically. Licenses for this situation are utilized as an intermediary to speak to the amount of developments/advancements. See fig. 2 p 154. In short, English industry in the century from 1650 to 1750 can display an assortment of advancements, a portion of an extreme sort in that they are spoken to infusions of capital gear which had the impact of raising efficiency. Some included another utilization of intensity driven apparatus or opened up additional opportunities in that, for instance, in silk-tossing or cotton-turning, some observed a substitution of one significant contribution to the creation procedure by another, for instance, coal for charcoal, steam and environmental weight for pony or labor. The statement above taken from the economy of England 1450-1750 by D.C. Coleman, sufficiently summarizes the significance and effect of the developments occurred in England at that point. Pre-mechanical England (Analysis) For what reason was the pre-mechanical age the manner in which it was? Or on the other hand, how could it change into the mechanical upset? I will look to clarify or discover a few orientation to respond to these hard inquiries. My examination will be restricted to a couple of essential components of free enterprise: property rights, capital collection, benefit rationale, establishments, and level of innovation and government mediation. It is realized that low work efficiency, poor training, high ripeness and death rates alongside the strength of physical over human capital tormented the pre-mechanical period. The opposite is genuine when contrasted with present day social orders, which is portrayed by low ripeness rates and extraordinary underscore on human capital. What represented the sprays in populace development that constrained the overflow work to move to the urban areas? With little instruction and languid innovation there was approximately a normal degree of human capital. Profit and advantage from putting resources into human capital were both low, and the ordinary rural worker earned their most extreme pay at age 20.. Subsequently, guardians would pick amount instead of value in kid bearing; this reveals some insight into the reasons populace blast. High death rates additionally constrained guardians to repeat at a high rate and started to set up a multitude of work that thrived during the mechanical upset. The quantity of licenses gave (utilized as an intermediary for capital aggregation) flags the pace of capital amassing and improvements in innovation. Obviously, these progressions could not hope to compare to present day principles however it established a framework that was fundamental to the mechanical upheaval. Reference was made in the outline with respect to Britains culture of obtaining and improving, this additionally looked to solidify the establishment of mechanical changes during this period. The pre-mechanical keeps an eye on want for status and political achievement alongside the longing to be supported by the crown, moved the pre-modern age. In all actuality, at a moderate rate. This was for the most part done through the vanquishing of new terrains and pitiful changes (contrasted with present day principles) to beneficial exercises. Defective markets had the option to a constrained degree be that as it may, to fuel the mechanical keeps an eye on benefit thought processes. By and by, this remaining parts one of only a handful hardly any fundamental components of private enterprise that never faltered or appears to blur. The pre-mechanical age was saved through the family structure, and the family structure was safeguarded through the responsibility for. All the fundamental components of private enterprise were in presence and developing in each regard during this crude age. Valid, it has advanced since, yet that isn't a bad mark, rather, the motivation behind why its ready to endure every one of these years. At the core of this period, the crown/state/government assumed a most imperative job in mechanical arranging. States were set up, exchange understandings were made, and numerous achievements were made for the sake of the crown. The crown was a lot of engaged with Britains advancement. The states job and force had changed surprisingly throughout the years, yet we incorporate it as a fundamental component of private enterprise to represent the essential job of government in kicking off an economy. Industrialization (750-1830) The modern insurgency was essentially a basic change in the structure of Britains economy. It was the reallocation of assets from agribusiness. England being the primary country to get industrialized in the mid eighteenth century experienced fast development. These high development rates would include changes in each part of the economy. England rich iron, coal and dependable wellspring of waterpower were fundamental to the modern unrest. Settlements around the globe provided Britain with crude materials for example cotton and wheat and filled in as a commercial center for made material. These states assisted with invigorating the material and iron businesses, the riches at that point produced by these two ventures is the thing that drove the modern upset. The steam motor was the best advancement of the mechanical unrest since it turned into an instrument for applying fundamental developments in numerous enterprises and transport. During the 1800s ventures, for example, cotton turning and iron was reliant on the steam motor. Landowning and cultivating riches streamed to venture for improving area and transport while business riches streamed to industry. Organizations made motivations and energize development for business people. The speeding up of mechanical improvement was encouraged by the rise of establishments, for example, budgetary frameworks, legitimate frameworks, and social foundations. Since the economy was developing at a consistent pace, money related frameworks were expected to help this significant change: the built up of the financial framework during the 1690s. The financial framework started to activate reserve funds all the more broadly after the 1750s. The bank of England, the London private bank and the nation brokers made up the boycott

Indias Faith and Indonesias Faith - Free Essay Example

Sample details Pages: 6 Words: 1669 Downloads: 10 Date added: 2019/03/22 Category Religion Essay Level High school Topics: Faith Essay Did you like this example? I watched Around the World in 80 Faiths: India and Nepal . Around the World in 80 Faiths is documentary series by BBC executed by the Church of England Vicar, Pete Own-Jones, who travels far and wide to many continents such as North and South America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia. I live in North America specifically in New York City, US (United States of America). Don’t waste time! Our writers will create an original "Indias Faith and Indonesias Faith" essay for you Create order So I wanted to watch an episode that I knew little about and will feel the most interested in, so I chose India. Coincidentally, India is also my name but that is not entirely why I chose to watch this particular country. The reason is that I had always come across Indian people who have migrated from there to the USA and when I asked what is India like, they always say that it is one of the most beautiful places to visit, its full of many types of beautiful people, culture, understanding, and peace, and their culture is ancient and like no other. So I can see for myself if any of the things I heard were true. In the show Around the World in 80 Faiths, episode six: India and Nepal discussed ten faiths found in India: Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism: Muktinath, Hindu/Buddhist, Hinduism: The Durga Puja, Hindu Aghoris, The Bishnoi, Nath Fire Walkers, Zoroastrianism, Sikhism, Jainism, and Hindu Gorehabba ritual. What was most interesting to me was the Hindu and Buddhists child blessing. This blessing was performed by the goddess grandmother, who was also the midwife (a trained professional who can deliver babies), which we have as well in the USA. The child blessing was similar to a Christening, a child blessing ceremony or ritual found in the religion Christianity. Christianity and Catholicism is the religion (Catholicism is a specific type of Christianity) I was raised in. Christianity is the belief in one God through teachings and beliefs of Jesus Christ. However the Hindu/Buddhists child blessing in Kathmandu, Nepal did things much differently during the ceremony. First, the midwife massages th e newborn while theyre fully naked with mustard oil, to welcome the new life to the world. The newborn baby is then provided with two names, a secret name that only God and the childs soul knows, which is given to protect them from evil. The next name is the name that his family and the world will know and call them by. During the ceremony, the midwife meditates, and pray over the child with a lit candle and rubs oil on the childs forehead and the mother. The mother of the child then squeezes her breast milk on the small lit candle, as an offering to the Gods which is passed over the newborn during the ceremony. This is a very sacred ritual for good karma for their newborn. In Hinduism/Buddhism you have what is known as good and bad karma, meaning the good deeds you do and good spirit you have will lead to a life and afterlife of good and vice versa for bad. This can also lead to reincarnation, it is after you die you will be reborn but as something or someone else. For example, I am a human woman, when I did I can be reincarnated to a male horse. Therefore, the newborn will go through many experiences before he is reborn in the afterlife but the baby must devote their life to the Gods who will determine whether thei r path gave them good or bad karma. This is interesting because of it the complete opposite of how I grew up in a Christian home. For Christians, a child blessing is known as a Christening. In a Christening, the ceremony is conducted in a Christian Church by a pastor or a priest (Catholic), who reads a bible scripture. The bible scripture reading is used to welcome the baby to the world and Christianity and in a way, this is similar to Hindu/Buddhist where this can be a sign of giving the child giving good karma. These bible readings are to help instill good life and guidance. During the ceremony, the pastor will be reading the bible while he is the parents of the child will hold the baby while both sides of the parents will have two people besides them called Godparents to witness the childs blessing and provide that they accept the responsibility as a Godparent. These are people who will care and have guardianship to the child if the parents die, there. But, unlike massaging the mustard oil all over their body, the baby is instead dressed formally in white like a white gown for a girl or a white suit for a boy and after the bible reading the oil or holy water is rubbe d or poured on the head of the newborn. In addition, in order to receive good karma, one has to go to the temple and pray to the god while also performing various meditation rituals. One major reason for this process is because in their religion they do believe in the afterlife also known in the Muslim community as Akhirah, this belief is that after death the Atman (soul) of a person passes into a new body and life. This new life depends on how the person lived their previous life. This belief was a complete opposite to my culture Christians believe when they die our soul is now sent to heaven with God. Another difference to the Christian faith is the belief in one true God while Hindu/ Buddhist believe in many Gods because each God represents something different, there is no all in one God like in Christianity. For instance, throughout the documentary Vicar, Pete Own-Jones was very active in the Hindu/Buddhist practices such as The Tara ritual at the Kutsab Ternga monastery ,this was apart of the Tibetan Buddhism. The Tar a is a very important figure in Buddhism because she is known as the mother of liberation. Moreover, there are several types of religion and denomination around the world, as mentioned so I decided to take a deeper look but on another religion known as Manpru religion. This is a religion practiced by Indonesian people specifically those in the island of Sumba. They are considered the last Indonesian who follows an ancestral faith. In order to get a close look at I watched a documentary directed and produced by Laura Scheerer and Janet Hoskins in the year 1988 titled The Feast in Dream Village . The film focused on how the ancestors spirits restore fertility after their village was destroyed by fire. The religious practices are lead by the head priest along with a second in command known as the archer as well as the sponsor. In this religion, the archer is the one who recites the history of the village so the Indonesian people can prepare an offering known as the feast to the ancestors. This feast preparation took twelve years to prepare. According to the head priest, when the fire took place the souls and spirits got lost .The feast will allow them to restore the souls to their rightful place and which they can ask the ancestors for favors like for of their crops to be of abundance and longevity for their lives. The feast is performed in their village with many guests such as government officials and local vil lagers. Also, there is a two seven day period before the ritual specifically prepared and performed by the head priest and the archer by inviting the spirits to a scared space this is known as Palau Marque. This is where the archer makes an offer to the spirit in order to complete the invitation. Along with the request is a performance of ancestral dances with instruments such as the drums and also their spears (their weapons). The second ritual is performed every day for seven days. It is their main offering, the buffalo. They would slash open the buffalo to ensure the liver is good which is a sign that the offerings were accepted by the spirits. All and all, these rituals are very scared and important to their culture because this is the highest form of respect to the spirit which allows them to revive favor for their troubles. Many ancestors before them performed these same rituals and since then has too had much success according to an elderly villager, the rituals are their way of connecting to the spirits and god in the heavens. In conclusion both documentaries showed religions that I have never encountered personally and they both had similar traits such as them both are religions that believe in a higher being such as spirits or gods however the Indonesian faith focuses only on the soul and spirits of their ancestor and do believe in heaven but not an afterlife and many gods that are not ancestors as the Hindu/Buddhist believes in. They both also believe that no one should be above or comes before their deity and to always keep their faith in them no matter where they go. The Hinduism and Buddhism has several elements to their faith and rituals, they believed in reincarnation and the afterlife, good karma (deemed by how you lived in your previous life depicts if you will return as a better version or worst they believe if you pray and mediated and live by the word of budda better is in store in a next life). Both documentaries highlighted major rituals of the natives and allows the viewers to see real-life culture first hand. Ironically both religions and their native were geographically located in Asia; both faiths had leaders who lead in religious practices such as head priest for Manpru and puja for the Hindu. They were religions that I think culture wise was different from mine but similar as they all believe in higher purpose and good and bad (good vs. evil), showing all religions may be different but all have a common goal, by giving them more purpose in life.

My Aquarium Essay - 544 Words

My Aquarium The place I decided to do my paper on is located in the living room of my family’s house. It is a one hundred gallon aquarium. The reason I chose this as the topic of my paper is that all kingdoms are present except for Plantae in it and it is its own ecosystem. Before I go in detail about the organisms in the aquarium, I would like to mention the accessories that make this aquarium a stable environment and allow the organisms to grow happily. The temperature needs to mimic natural reefs that are often found in tropical regions. The tank needs to be 78 degrees F. In the summer water is pumped through a chiller that lowers the temperture to exactly what it needs to be and†¦show more content†¦Next, is the water. This needs to be ultra pure, free from dissolved solvents. Due to the high temperatures evaporation can cause as much as 2 gallons a day to be replaced. A reverse osmosis water purifier is used to create this ultra pure water. Now that I have explained how the water starts of pure the salinity needs to be constant. 33 parts per thousand is recommended for reef aquariums. Calcium, amino acids, phytoplankton, and iodine are also added to the aquarium on a daily basis. The water is tested on a monthly basis for ph, alkalinity, and about a dozen different chemicals to be sure the water chemistry is correct. Now we will discuss the first part of the reef aquarium, which is the sand and live rock. The sand needs to be live sand, meaning it contains all the necessary bacteria that will be needed in this artificial environment. The same is true for the live rock, which needs different bacteria and is the resting place for all of the corals. These organisms belong to the kingdom Monera Protista and are the first organism to be added to the tank. This aquarium also contains organisms of the kingdom Protista. These are present in the green algae that are seen on the glass of aquariums. Also red algae are seen when observing a marine aquarium. These algae bloom when there is excess nitrogen in the water. The red algae are a sign of a tankShow MoreRelatedEssay on Mermaid Swims In2231 Words   |  9 Pagesmaintaining an aquarium. My boyfriend, Andrew, gave me an aquarium for my birthday two months ago.

American Culture Essay In Puddnhead Wilson Example For Students

American Culture Essay In Puddnhead Wilson This section is the heart of both the farce and the tragedy of Puddnhead Wilson. The action is fast-paced, often absurd, and accompanied by convoluted plot twists. Yet it is always intimately tied to the central problem of the story: Roxys failure to save her son, whose racial heritage seems to damn him inescapably. Roxy herself seems to agree with racist sentiments when she tells Tom that his black blood is to blame for his behavior. She also takes the opportunity to make claims for her own heritage, telling her son that she is descended from Pocahontas and Captain John Smith, and is thereby of as high quality Virginia stock as the judge or anyone else. While Roxy may seem to be a sort of Uncle Tom figure here, Twain avoids this interpretation by making her as much of a victim as her son. Her claims about her ancestry are pathetic and ridiculous, but they show how deeply entrenched the white hegemony is. Roxys comments point to the fact that black blood is the problem: black labor h as made the white masters wealthy and thus enabled both Toms upbringing and the kind of rhetoric that the judge and Roxy use about their fine old families. Concepts of honor in this novel have little to do with standards of behavior but are instead ways to uphold an exploitative system. Aside from the more profound issues at stake, this section also contains some of Twains finest comic writing. The scene at the anti-temperance meeting is theatrical and amusing. It also makes reference to one of the major figures to whom Twain sought to compare himself: Benjamin Franklin. Franklin was the first to set up fire companies in the United States, and the Dawsons Landing fire brigade is similar in its bumbling to the companies Franklin describes in his Autobiography. The comment about the townspeople insuring themselves against the firefighters rather than against fire is obviously Franklin-esque: wry, practical, and linguistically aware. Franklin is the epitome of the self-made man in American literature and history, and by making reference to him Twain means to challenge the idea of self-constructed identities in a world where race is so powerful a determinant that it can erase all else. Puddnhead, the most Franklin- like of the characters in this novel, has so far failed to become who he wants to be, and is left, like Franklin, conducting experiments that are ridiculed rather than appreciated. Still, his nomination for mayor suggests that he may enjoy some success after all. The twins function more as mechanisms than human characters in this section. They are present to open up the closed circuit of society in this town: not understanding whos who or what old prejudices and arguments are behind peoples behavior, they force the town to explain itself or to accommodate their lack of familiarity. One result of this is that the narrative tends to become more omniscient when the twins are present: the hidden narrator frequently offers windows into their thoughts and digressions about the town. The twins tell another wild story in this section, too, about Luigis past and their acquisition of the dagger. In doing so they once again expose the townspeoples pathological fondness for the exotic and the importance of suspension of disbelief to narrative: Twains plot, after all, isnt much less improbable than the twins stories. Finally they serve to interrogate issues of identity still further: their differences, both physical and in matters of opinion, are highligh ted here through their behavior and through Toms insistence that the twins fingerprints are identical. Their behavior toward one another is a complex mixture of loyalty and combativeness, an implicit contrast to the master-servant relationship between Tom and Chambers. .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0 , .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0 .postImageUrl , .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0 , .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0:hover , .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0:visited , .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0:active { border:0!important; } .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0:active , .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0 .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .ud779da0e2c79a4fd32351d9b0572fdb0:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Effect of Broken Family in the Society Sample EssayWords/ Pages : 621 / 24

7 Disadvantages of Joining a Fraternity or Sorority

7 Disadvantages of Joining a Fraternity or Sorority The benefits of joining  a fraternity or sorority are many, and its important to realize that Greek life in college has a lot of impressive things to offer. Its also important, however, to realize that there might be some challenges. So just what do you need to be aware of before officially pledging? You Might Be Stereotyped by Peers Even if you had a great impression of fraternities and sororities before you came to college - and an even better one once you learned about all the great initiatives your schools Greek organizations do - not all students share the same perception. Ignorant or well-informed, your fellow students might stereotype you once they know you belong to a certain Greek house. And while there might not be much you can do about that, its important to at least keep in mind. You Might Be Stereotyped by Faculty You might be having an amazing, life-changing experience as a member of your fraternity or sorority. But your professors - who were, after all, college students themselves once - might not have had as great of an experience during their own undergraduate years. Or they could have had problems in the past with students from your particular organization. While you are your own person and should be judged accordingly, just be aware of the perceptions some faculty members might have about how you spend your time outside of class. You Might Be Stereotyped by Future Employers While your Greek organization might be dedicated to, say, the study of biology or to social justice, an employer might not realize that while quickly skimming resumes. And while belonging to a fraternity or sorority with a large network can be an incredible asset, there might also be some challenges along the way. Being Active Can Be a Major Time Commitment Does this necessarily have to be a drawback to membership in your house? Of course not. But it is something to be aware of in advance, especially if you struggle with time management or you know that your time is going to be extremely limited during your college years. Joining Can Be Expensive While there often are scholarships available to students who need them to remain members of their Greek community, theres no guarantee those scholarships are going to come through. If finances are tight, make sure you are aware of what financial obligations youll have to your house. Ask about joining fees, dues, and other expenses - such as helping fund an annual event - that youll be responsible for. There Can Be Strong Personality Conflicts This, of course, is inevitable whenever youre involved with a group of people. And youll undoubtedly encounter personality conflicts in everything from your Chemistry study group to your rugby teammates. Keep in mind, however, that personality conflicts in a fraternity or sorority can get especially tense, given that people spend so much time together and often live in a shared space for several years in a row. You May Sometimes Feel Stuck in Routine and Commitments This years Halloween party might seem like the most amazing thing ever. But after working on it for months in advance, three years in a row, the Halloween party during your senior year might lose some of its ​luster. There can be ways to branch out and try new things within your fraternity or sorority, and a good one will encourage you to do so. Just be aware of what it will mean to pledge the rest of your college experience to one particular group.

Free Essays on Freedom of Expression

Internet filters, v-chips, â€Å"abstinence-only† education, and indecency laws are just a few of the tactics our society has employed in recent years to protect the â€Å"innocent† minds of youth. These censorial measures not only prevent young people from learning, thinking, and exploring; they deprive them of critical information on subjects ranging from human rights and feminism to drugs and safer sex. In early May, The Free Expression Policy Project – along with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at New School University – brought together 33 advocates from the fields of free expression, sexuality education, youth journalism, and media literacy, along with 10 outstanding teen writers and activists, for a colloquium to develop strategies for combating censorship aimed at minors.

Free Essays on Freedom of Expression Freedom of Expression: All people in the United States are guaranteed this right by the Constitution. Students, however, do not have this right to the same extent as adults. This is because public schools are required to protect all students at the school. The major aspects of this right are speech and dress. Both the right to speech and dress are not absolute in public high schools. According to the American Civil Liberties Union: "You (students) have a right to express your opinions as long as you do so in a way that doesn't 'materially and substantially' dirsupt classes or other school activities. If you hold a protest on the school steps and block the entrance to the building, school officials can stop you. They can probably also stop you from using language they think is 'vulgar or indecent'("Ask Sybil Libert" ACLU 1998). Public schools can also restrict student dress. In 1987 in Harper v. Edgewood Board of Education the court upheld "a dress regulation that required students to 'dress in conformity w it hthe accepted standards of the community'"(Whalen 72). This means that schools can restrict clothing with vulgarities and such, but they cannot restrict religious clothing: "School officials must accomodate student's religious beliefs by permitting the wearing of religious clothing when such clothing must be worn during the school day as a part of the student's religious practice"(Whalen 78). Back to Student Rights in Public High School: Bibliography: Religious Freedom: The First Amendment to the United States Constitution states, "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The right to freedom of religion includes the right to be free from religion: "Public schools are run by the government. Therefore, they must obey the First Amendment. This means that they can teach about the influences of religion in history, literature, and philosophy- they can't pro...

A questionnaire can help to measure variables such as media exposure, peer relationships and other socioeconomic factors; central to the dissertation. The questionnaire should be administered to children in year 4-8 in a variety of schools (state, private, boarding & day) in rural, urban and suburban areas in the South of England. The children's ages ranging from 8-13 years. Children of this age were chosen, not only because within this age range they are deemed to be 'Tweens', but also this age group corresponds with Piaget's concrete operational stage of development and they would also be deemed 'cued processors' (Roedder 1981). Research on how advertising may or may not influence children to buy or ask for certain goods and products i.e. 'Pester Power' has been carried out using various methods.

Chronic Conditions Prevention and Management Essay

Chronic Conditions Prevention and Management - Essay Example There are myriad pathogenic processes that are involved in the development of the disease. These processes range from destruction of the ÃŽ ²-cells of pancreas, which is an autoimmune process, with concurrent deficiency of insulin to different abnormalities that leads to the resistance to insulin action. The underlying factor of the abnormalities in protein, fat and carbohydrates metabolism in diabetes disease is as a result of reduced insulin action on target tissues. Studies have shown that insulin secretion impairment, as well as the defect in insulin action, often coexists in one patient but it is not clear which abnormality is usually the primary cause of the elevated blood sugars (American Diabetes Association, 2011). Diabetes causes substantial morbidity and mortality in Australia and the estimates of diabetes prevalence provide stakeholders to plan and allocate enough funds for health services. Therefore, the continuous availability of data on the prevalence of diabetes in Australia is significant for disease monitoring, planning, identifying the population at risk, providing services for people and developing an effective preventive strategies (Shaw & Tanamas, 2012). It is approximated that one million Australians are diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and the prevalence increases with age, which is noted to be higher in male gender (4.9%) than in female gender (3.8%). In addition, the prevalence is high in the northern part of Australia (10.6%) and lowest in the Central part of Australia (3.0%). The disease has been noted to have an onset at childhood in several cases. A report issued by an Australian Institute of health showed that 0.3% of Australians aged below 35 years were diagnosed with diabetes as compared to 16% of Australians aged above 65 years.

Comparison: Buddhism And Jainism

Comparison: Buddhism And Jainism 1) There are many similarities and many differences between Buddhism and Jainism. To begin, we will start by discussing the similarities in both. In Jainism and Buddhism rather than having a God or creator there is a teacher. Both religions do not accept the permanent power of God as the creator of the world. Buddha and the last of the 24 thirthankaras (mahavira) spread their experience of finding liberation to communities and people began to follow. In Buddhism there was the development of sangha through Buddhaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s early disciples it allowed anyone to adapt to his teaching and as for Jainism it does not formally recognize the caste system. Therefore, followers came from all castes and levels of society. Another similarity is the concept of living in a nonviolent way. The first teaching of Buddhism is to abstain from violence and protect all life. All things have a living spirit. In Jainism, nonviolence is not just about being abusive or to people rather it is to not b e destructive toward nature and all living things. Like Buddhists, Jains believe that our actions influence the future course of our current life, and of our lives to come. Both religions agree that death is a natural process of life and want to reach a state of nirvana or liberation. However, there are differences in both religions. For instance, in Jainism the soul exists everywhere, not only in living beings, but in inanimate objects as well. The soul in Jainism reaches it s highest state when the soul liberates itself from the bondage of karmas. But Buddhism holds completely dissimilar views. Karma in Buddhism, defines our actions of body and speech, and mind. Things we choose to do or say or think set karma into motion. The law of karma is a law of cause and effect. According to Buddhism, soul is not a permanent; it is ever changing. Therefore, a person must follow the noble eightfold path to reach liberation. Jains believe that karma is a form of matter which is not simply the effect of ones actions, but a real substance that runs into each individual body. When particles of karma attach to a life it will affect that soul. This karmic substance remains with a being until good conduct and self purification eliminates them. Another difference between both religions would be the choice of food. In Jainism you must be a vegetarian and Buddhism it is a choice you can make whether or not you can be carnivore or be a vegetarian. Hence, there is similarities in Buddhism and Jainism where there is no creator or god but rather a teacher. In addition, there are no caste systems in both religions, there is a concept of living in a non-violent way and want to reach liberation. Nevertheless, both religions have a different perspective on soul and karma. 2) There are many differences between Buddhism and Hinduism. Buddhism is a non-theistic religion which means that they sense spiritual reality without a personal deity or deities. There is a single founder in Buddhism which was known as Siddhartha Gautama also known as Buddha. Buddha does not identify on images of unseen reality. In other words only believe in what you can physically see. Buddha is a teacher not a god. Unlike Hinduism, which is theistic religion that practices the worship of many gods, Hinduism is formed of various traditions and has no single founder. The feeling is that the celestial has innumerable forms. Buddha taught by accepting how we build distress for ourselves we can become liberated. When he first experienced the world he became disheartened and went on to preach that life is full of grief and suffering. He wanted to find liberation for suffering and emphasizes on sufferings in the existing world. The Hindu last scriptures Upanishads recognize that sufferi ng is a natural part of the human state. It takes the suffering in human life and places it to previous karma or actions of the human being. Hinduism does not stress suffering as much as Buddhism rather they set greater stress on the bliss enjoyed on experiencing on a coming together with God or the Self. Since we are all an emergence of God, bliss is a fundamental part of our nature. The Upanishads stressed on this experience of bliss to inspire the Hindu devotees to experience Moksha- liberation. In addition, Buddhism does not follow the Brahmanic tradition like Hinduism. Buddhism withdraws the ideas of eternal self or soul (Atman) and eternity or transcendent reality (Brahman); this condition separates it from Hinduism. The goal to Buddhism is to reach nirvana, enlightenment and the end of suffering. Buddhism believes in reaching nirvana through the four noble truths and eightfold path. Unlike Buddhism there are many ways like yoga (Jnana, Karma, Raja and Bhakti) to reach liberat ion in Hinduism. Reincarnation is another factor in Hinduism and Buddhism. In Hinduism, it is said that the soul continues after death and goes into another body. The soul can rebirth into animals or plants depending on the karma. Unlike, In Theravada Buddhism, there is the principle of anatta, or no soul, which states there is no continuing being that carries on from one life to the next. Therefore, rebirths are not handed out but are simply the natural results of good or bad endeavors.

However, the power to persuade depends upon on what kind of persuasion we did and how the manipulation takes place. As an individual, we have then eytnmdecy to believe hwat opthewrs said and what others do towards us. Actually, it is more likely to believe other’s idea. Influencing others thohuhts and actions msut be continually improve his perception and quality towards quality and productivity (Seminar Information Service, 2007). However, how could we do this and what is the inpact of persuading our thought s and isea upon others? II. Influencing Others Thgoughts and behavior Communication with a person is one of the major concern on how to persuade others upon your ideas and belkifs. Constant communication will build a strong confidence and will mark trust and support when you are arguing or discussing something with him. It is also a way to get his attention ans support when you are in the midst of conversation with him. In fact, inidivucdual and group victory towards others mainly depends on the ability on how to communicate woth others. The process on how a person cvommunicatye wotu pthers strogly influence others perception on you. If you have the capability and skills in persuading others ideas to your own by means of well-built communicatiuon, you have also the powers to be understood and the influence to be inculcated toerda others. The communication skills are the key on how to exploit individual and even group potential and beliefs. Indeed, individual and group success mainly rooted from their ability to exchange words clearly and with persuasion. Explore and examine another person’s way of communication stryle in ordewr to adapt the implication and delivery and idea to the approach of that person. Well-defined relationship can sway other’s actions and judgments. However, how could a person buiuld strong relationship without the ability to communicate well? Building good relationds comes from building good communication skills. As constaent communicatiuon build authority, good relkationship also build power to plead one’s case. However, before entering to the relationship, it is important to underdtanr anf analyze forst one’s style of communication and relationship towdrs opther. The skill to analyze them will improve one’s way and strategy on how to relate woith them.

The analysisi and defining our approach and goals and identifying the most effecvtove methopd will emphatically influcnec positively anothers’ behavior and their way of perception. In terms of psychological approach, assess and analyuze how the style natuarally encourage others type of relationship. Plan an influence strategy, and use an examined and analyzed techniques for association and rapport. There are studies conducted shoews that conformity has a strong influence towards individual. It increases conformity towards individual. The deegeree of comfomiryt is basewd on the levels of sympathty being shown and felt for that person (GERHART, 2006). There are many well-known studies in social psychology that demonstrate various influences on conformity. Conformity is defined as a change in behavior, belief, or opinion so that the change is more congruent, or agreeable, with an influential individual or group. Among these influences are group pressure, guilt, and authority (Kiesler & Kiesler, 1969). Research has also indicated that these influences hold much more power on conformity than originally preconceived. They can potentially become very powerful tools for subtle, human manipulation when used correctly. Due to this, it is very surprising that no direct research on the influence of sympathy on conformity exists. Sympathy is defined feelings of sorrow or concern for another person (not to be confused with empathy). Although no solid, empirical evidence for the influence of sympathy on conformity exists, it is often used effectively. Many strategies for donation collection aim at getting other people to conform to the belief that money is needed, and sympathy is typically used as a marketing tool. People in everyday situations also, either intentionally or unintentionally, elicit sympathy in others so that they may conform to their beliefs or comply with their requests. For example, Perina (2002) found that college students admit that 70 percent of their excuses for missed assignments are lies. A vast majority of these lies concern health problems and deceased relatives, which is likely to elicit sympathy in the professor. Another example of the influence of sympathy on conformity is the Christian religion. The Bible states that God gave His only Son, Jesus, so that no one else would have to suffer. People could sympathize with this, which would influence their conformity to the religion. Yet even with these powerful implications, no direct research can be found on this probable relationship. There does exist, however, some research where sympathy is applicable. Many psychologists and philosophers have suggested that sympathy mediates altruistic behavior (Eisenberg & Strayer, 1987; Wispe, 1991). Altruism is defined as intentional, voluntary behavior the benefits another and is not performed with the expectation of receiving external rewards or avoiding external punishment. Given this definition, conformity could be labeled as a subcategory of altruism. In many cases, people intentionally conform to the beliefs of others with no intent other than to please, or benefit, them. More recently, Eisenberg, Zhou, and Koller (2001) reported findings of sympathy predicting prosocial behavior. The only difference between altruism and prosocial behavior, by definition, is that prosocial behavior lacks a specified motive (Eisenberg & Strayer, 1987). Again, conformity can be identified as a subcategory of prosocial behavior, which is closely related to altruism. Other research can be interpreted as sympathy being a confounding variable, influencing conformity. Studies of guilt on conformity (Freedman, Wallington, & Bless, 1967) suggest that when participants experience guilt, they are much more likely to comply. Guilt is defined as feelings of responsibility for offensive actions. In their research, participants were induced to perform a negative behavior (e. g. , knocking over a thousand ordered note cards) at the expense of the perceived researcher, subsequently producing guilt. It could be argued, however, that the negative behaviors alone are likely to elicit sympathy, which in turn, could influence conformity to requests. Basically, the experimenter’s exposure to negative behaviors, regardless of the person responsible, could elicit sympathy and influence the participant’s conformity. This could have been controlled for had there been a group where confederates, followed by measurement of participant conformity, performed the negative behaviors. Therefore, sympathy is potentially applicable to this research. The purpose of this study is to examine the direct influence of sympathy on conformity. It is predicted that sympathy will promote the onset of conformity with the assumption that participants will only conform to the sympathized person. It is also predicted that women will display higher conformity, because they are more likely to be influenced by sympathy (Bond & Smith, 1996; Ickes, 1997). It is hypothesized that people experiencing sympathy for an individual are more likely to conform to that individual’s opinions than people of the general population. GERHART, A. D.

Review Of The Jati - 918 Words

Aaron Thomas Nancey Moore HIS 111 - 4106 9 September 2015 The Jati Thousands of years ago in Asia, a book was written that gave social structure that would go on through the ages in India. Today that social structure is called the Jati or in English words, the Caste system. While it has undergone a few changes here and there, the system has relatively been unchanged and just like thousands of years ago when it was first introduced in the Vedas, it exists in modern day India as a part of society in it. This paper will go over a more detailed explanation of the Jati as well as the classes and books that defined the Jati system, most notably the â€Å"Laws of Mandu†. Jati translates to â€Å"caste† so in English it is called the Caste system. In the Jati system there are four main castes one falls under: Shudra, Viasya, Kshatryia and Bhramin. Outside of the caste system are the outcasts or also called untouchables. Within these main four castes there are thousands of subcastes a group of people will fall under. One important thing to not e where unlike most social classes of ancient time, in the Jati system, it is possible to move up in the caste. While a subcaste may not move up as an individually, the entire group can move up. So while there is subcaste A and subcaste B. While Subcaste B is currently higher up on the caste it is possibly for subcaste A as a whole to move up above subcaste B.
